I don't believe that for a second. I believe that with Caleb working on the DCG they knew that Rhovanion wasn't going to be released until this summer and so the started to delay the releases instead of having a 9 to 12 month break.

It non-bos with Sterner than Steel too. Basically I like the tactics requirement of triggering out of sphere effects by requiring a weapon to exhaust, but when you need to exhaust the weapon for something else you have decisions to make. (Which is fine.)
